55I work every weekend so Im so glad I finally got to try this spot! The chickens were fun and the pool was the perfect depth for our dogs who don't swim but want to be up to their tummies in water. Very nicely kept yard! Laura M.

55What a fun spot! Tons of tree coverage and open space. Good for those hot days you need some shade, or if you want to soak up the sun. The pool is fun but my dog had WAY more fun exploring the underbrush trying to hunt rabbits who were likely eating from the raspberry bushes. :) I enjoyed the chickens while my dog explored. Definitely listen to the owner directed directions as google will NOT take you there. As a heads up, there are 2 railway crossings. Don't make my mistake and go across the big marked one with lights, there's a smaller, private drive that goes across the tracks just a smidge further. That is the one you want. Rachel F.

55A lot of shaded yard to romp and play! Tank pool was great to cool off in after lots of running and sniffing. My dogs loved investigating the chickens! Would come back.Leah T.

55Kate An’s place is open and clean. We don’t have a fenced yard at home, so this open space made them very happy! They ran to their heart’s content. Thank you, Kate An, for sharing your lovely property.Rita H.

55We have visited this spot multiple times and I cannot say enough good things about it or Kate, the host. This last visit was extra special as my sometimes reactive dogs got to meet one of my best friend's ( who the adore) dog for the first time. I chose to do the intro here because the pups love it, there are numerous high value distractions, and it's safe! The intro went off with out a hitch and now they are all great friends. Thanks again for providing this safe fun space to explore. Amira H.

55This was a great spot! Plenty of space for my dog to run; there's a well-trod pathway for humans and dogs around the perimeter of the fence; if you want to venture into more central parts of the yard just wear snow/rain boots.
My dog loved playing fetch w/ her ball here, lots of wide open spaces for her to run and a couple of trees with some fallen branches that were great sticks.
Fair warning that even though the chicken run was very secure; sometimes the chickens were visible which was distracting for my dog w/ her higher prey drive - we just kept away from that area and the yard is large enough you can easily do that.
The directions provided were definitely helpful plus there's a prominent sign showing you where the driveway is.Kiley P.

55Easy to follow directions plus a sign help you find the place. It’s a really lovely spot and I’m so grateful that it is made available! I’ve recently adopted a new dog and he is not (and may never be) ready for a public dog park but needs a bit more room than our yard to get some good zoomies out. This was a great spot close to home to get some proper sniffing and running in. Our dog did get a little distracted by the train but we are working on that with him and the fence kept him secure.

FAQ about our Saint Paul Park dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
